'Do jou know you are distractingly
pretty ia a temper?" . , .
"And you are excessively imperti
nent?" Mis.s Lvnde drw her slim figure to itt
lull height aud flashed iodigoant eyes
upon tbt geutleman oppobite.
"And so," said Roger Windom, his
maimer assuming sudden warmtb, "you
consider me impertinent because, to my
eyed, you are the loveliest woman in the
world, and. therefore. I have asked you
to marrv me, whether my uncle likes it
or not?" .
Th vonne man was thoroughly in
earnest now, and poured out his 'words
without reference to rhetoric or euect.
"It is precisely that to which I ob
ject," interrupted Miss Lynde, imper
iouslv. ".Listen to me. You come here
where I am employed as governess, os
tensibly to visit the lady of the house
In reality to see me. You waylay mo on
the street when I go out to walk; you an
noy me, and astonish Mrs. Burdett by
asking for a private interview; and when
you tell me, with your usual assurance,
that you would like to marry me, al
though your uncle, upon whom yon are
entirely dependent, has emphatically re
fused his consent. You leave my possi
ble feelings altogether out of 5'our con
sideration, Mr. Windom. You should
remember that I have my own dignity to
uphold, and that I am not a scheming
adventuress trying to thrust myself upon
an unwilling family.'V
Miss Lynde stopped,breathless,though
in her excitement her gray eyes still
flashed dangerously.
"At least you have been very plain
spoken," said Roger Windom, bitterly,
standing as he had listened with his
black brows contracted and his arms
folded upon his breast. "And now, per
haps. Miss Lynde, you will permit me to
answer yon. I have very little to offer
in defense, except that I have been fool
ish enough to love you madly, from the
moment that I first saw you smile and
heard you speak. I have no excuse
ready for my reprehensible conduct for
waylaying you on the street none for
asking you to accept the devotion of my
life. Pardon me, that in dwelling on
my own selfish hopes, I have failed to
consider the'delicacy of your position.
But, I will not trouble you further, Miss
Lynde, I will bid you good-day."
"Stay a moiuent," interrupted the
lady, with a detaining gesture. "Mr.
Windom, you have shamed me into an
apology for my ungracious words," with
a smile void of all ooquetry in its perfect
fraakness. "You do not know what my
life has been," she added, gwctly. "Even
as a child I knew what unhappiness
meant, for my poor mother married.even
as you have wished me to do, kgaiost the
wishes of her husband's family. In a
year he was tired of her accused her of
having spoiled his career; finally, he de
serted her. Before my poor mother died,
she told me the sad story. I promised
her then that I would nejeer marry as she
had done; and, so help me heaven! I
never will." The beautiful eyes were
full f unshed tears as they were raised
to Roger Windom face, and the girl's
voice trembled slightly as she went on.
"I thank you, indeed, for the honor you
have done me; I will even acknowIeJge
that under different circumstances I
might have learned to love you. But, as
it is, it is better that we should never
meet. Do not come here any more do
not see me again, and you will sjod for
get that sncb an insignificanc person
ex Ms as Janet Lynde."
As she ceased speaking, Mis Lynde's
pale face was lit up with an April smile,
and the hand he had extended in token
of farewell was firmly clasped between
two larger palms.
"I ahull never forget you," said the
young man, passionately, his brown eyes
looking with a triumphant gladness into
hers. "And I shall love you until the
hour of my death. This I shall tell my
uncle, and if he persists in refusing 10
give his consent, without knowing you,
or even so much as bearing yoar name,
then henceforth he and I are strangers.
For, Janet, what you are not allowed to
share, neither will I possess nor enjoy,
and so, darling, for a long time, good
bve." Before Miss Lynde had quite recovered
herself, Roger Windom had kissed the
little hand so closely imprisoned in his
own, and was gone.
For a long time she stood as he left
her, with hands hanging helplessly at
her side, and her head downcast.
She was not a beautiful woman, scarce
ly a noticeable one among a number.and
yet there was something noble in the
poise of the proud head, in the resolute
curves of lip and chin.
It was a face whose beauty and intelli
gence grew upon you as you gazed a
face that inspired involuntary confidence
and a belief in truth and goodness.
"Pray, Mrs. Burdett, who is the lady
BViw tuc vt a jr iiuui uoi
Mr. Samuel Windom was addressing
himself to his hostess, a well preserved
matron intent upon being agreeable to
her rich guest.
"That is Miss Lynde, my governess,
really a superior young person, and the
children are quite devoted to her, ex
plained the lady, with much gracious
ness. Janet, in a blue lawn dress and broad
brimmed garden hat, was seated upon a
rustic bench, ostensibly reading, but in
reality gazing out over the fair green
meadow that btretched beyond her.while
pondered upon the inscrutable ways that
had brought Roger Windoin under the
same roof with her.
The winter was gone and summer had
come again, since she and Roger had
parted.
In a despairing letter of farewell she
had learned that he parted with his uncle
in anger had gone out into the wide
world to work out his fortune, but not
without the hope, he added, that some
day. he would coma back to seek and
claim her.
Janet's reverie was interrupted by
voices dose upon her, and.rising hastily
in her confusion, Miss Linde was intro
duced to Mr. Windom.
The sunlight and faint blushes mat
bar cheek and made her positively beau
tiful, for the time, as she stood talking
tn thm Rtatelv and ceremonious old gen
tleman who had once held her happiness
in his hand, and nan reiusea w give n

Long ago Janet had confessed to her
self that Roger Windom's love would
have crowned her life with happiness,

to Janet until the advent of this hand
some and ardent lover, and now that he
was crone Miss Lvnde had discovered
that, after all, she had not been imjer-
vious to the influence oi aosorumg love.
There was singular mixture of reverence
and repugnance toward this proud and
self opinionated old man, and Miss
Lynde's eyes and lips were very grave as
she answered Mr. Windom's courtier
like speeches and walked beside him
down the trim garden path. ;
Evidently he did not know that this
was the woman who bad taken his neph
ew away from him. Roger had withheld
the name and the other had not the curi
osity to inquire after it. The fact was
sullicient to the inflexible old man. His
nephew wanted to form a connection be
neath his position in life. The woman
had sufficient shrewdness to see that his
consent was necessary to make her mar
riage to the adopted heir a desirable
one. Mr. Windom congratulated him
self on his as.uteness, wuen he absolute
ly declined this compliance with his hot
headed nephew's impassioned and very
impatient demands. So the two equally
fiery aud obstinate natures had met in
weniy combat, and both had been
worsted, though each refused to yield.
Thev had parted in anger, and Mr.
Samuel Windom was trying the effect of
change and variety in his now lonely
life; for, all unaeknowle ged to himself,
he ielt his nephew's defection keenly,
and but for his pride would have begged
ln'm tn onin o back acrain.
In the meantime, Mr. Windom found
himself becoming greatly interested in
this sen'oiia-Aved Miss Lvnde. Quite un
aware, Janet touched the vulnerable spot
in Samuel Windom's nature.
He fancied her a fair resemblance to
his dead wife, and she had not dispelled
the illusion by the fashionable airs and
. . . . it- ii
affectation that young ladies generally
lisplay. So Mr. Windom's visit at Mrs.
Burdett's elegant country mansion was
prolonged from week to week, until that
lad v confidentially asserted to her hus
band her belief that Mr. Windom in
tended marrying their governess; and
certainlv the ladv's theory was not with
out sufficient basis, for the gentleman's
old fashioned and courtly attentions
were impressive enough even to unob
servant eyes.
One morning, as Miss Lynde was
leaving her room, she was rather startled
by Mr. Windom's servant banding her a
letter, with the gentleman's compli
ments. "Could it be possible that he was
really about to propose to her, as Mrs.
Burdett ha J vagueiy intimated?" thought
Janet, as she broke the seal in some per
turb ition; and this was what she read:
"Mr Dear Young Lady. I have con
sidered whether I should speak to you
upon this subject that lies very near my
heart, or trust it to the more dispassion
ate medium cf a letter. For I desire that
you should weigh carefully the proposi
tion I have to make you. I am an old
roan, without a tie that is not mercenary.
The only relative I had living has tor
E&ken me in my old age for some
scheming adventuress, who doubtless ex
pected to secure my money too. Will
you come to me in his stead to brighten
and cheer tho remainder of my days? I
have not asked you without due re
flection and a thorough study of your
character, and to remove you from any
sense of dependency or from future con
tingencies, X touid convey in your name
certain bonds and household property,
of which we will speak more explicitly if
you consent to regard favorably my
proposition. In this event I should also
desire to adopt you legally as my
daughter that you. should assume my
ntrr., with all if a privileges, and the as
Eurance aguin n plated, that I am acting
upon matured inflection and a sincere
motive of mutual benefit.
Truly yours,
Samuel. Windom.
Miss Lynde felt extremely perplexed
as she refolded her letter. What should
she do? Would she be hurting Roger
Windom's interest in accepting his un
cle's proposals or, rather, would she not
be rendering him a service in securing
him against others who might be more
self interested than she?
Altogether it was irresistible. The
thought of reigning in the house where
Roger had lived perhaps to have him
come back some day to find her there
awaiting uim.
A little later, then, and Janet Lynde
beheld herself transformed into an im
portant personage, with all the luxuri
ous surroundings aud costly accessories
that befitted a rich man's daughter.
Mr. Windom was kindness himself in
bis fitately, old-fashioned manner, and
yet Janet was not altogether content.
The coming home, to which she had
looked forward so hoptfully, had not
come to pass, and upon tbe subject of his
truant nephew, Samuel Windom spoko
never a woid.
"And so. Uncle Samuel, you have
brought me back all this way to tell me
youhave found me a wife? But it i3 out
of the question. There is only one
woman in the world you could induce
me to marry, and she will not marry
me."
"Wait until you have seen my
daughter," said his uncle, with a benign
smile.
"It is scarcely worth while to quarrel
at our first meeting," thought Roger, as
he came slowly down stairs as the dinner
bell sounded.
Then he opened the door and entered
the room.
Standing before the fire, with her back
to him, he saw a slender female figure,
with softr brown hair braided smoothly
into a crown upon a well shaped head,
and her trailing silk robe of pale hue,
hanging in statuesque folds about her.
She turned slowly, and brought him
face to face with Janet Lynde.
"Janet 1 you here?" he cried eagerly,
his handsome face lighting up ffith a de
lighted smile. "I suppose," slowly, as
the smile faded, but with her hands still
tightly clasped in his, "that you are
married?"
"No, not married," Janet answered.
"At least," he said, drinking in the
beauty of her face with hungry eyes
"at least, you are more prosperous,"
with a quick glance at her heavily jew
eled hands and the richness of her ivory
tinted gown.
"Yes, I have been greatly blessed,"
she answered quietly. !
"And I suppose you are here visiting
this paragon my uncle raves about?
Janet do you know my uncle sent me a
beautiful letter full of the idea of mu
tual forgiveness and reconciliation, and
when I arrive, full of penitenee and my
own shortcomings, behold, it was to
marry me to his sew daughter that he
wanted me."
sas;rjK
Aud Rodger Windom looked Infinitely
disgusted at the bare idea.
"It would be a most desirable mar
riage for you," said Janet, demurely
looking down.
"Do not be unkind," said the young
man, with a beseeching accent of
entreaty. "For your sake, I went will
ing into exile. Already I have been
fortunate enough to lay the foundation
of a future independence. Once I have
gained a secure foothold, promise me,
my Janet, that I may come home to
claim you for my very own. Will you
promise, my darling?"
The eager voice had assumed a dan
gerous tenderness as the words poured
forth, bat the girl only answered, "You
have forgotten, Mr. Windom, the obsta
cles that existed still remain, do they
not? Believe me, the marriage your
uncle has planned is in every way suit
able, and from tbe bottom of my heart
I hope that you will marry your uncle's
choice."
And Janet was evidently in earnest.
"Then I must disappoint you both,"
said the young man passionately. "Un
fortunately I was born with a heart an
organ with which,. it appears, you have
dispensed. Oh, Janet!" with a despair
ing cadence in his tones, "why can ou
"not lovs? Why are you so lovely and so
cold?"
"Roger," the roice had grown sud
denly sweet and low "I will confess it
now. From the bottom of my heart I
do love you. Nevertheless," an arch
smile breaking over her face, "I am
quite convinced that when you have once
stjen Mr. Windom's adopted daughter,
you will change your opinion about
marrving her."
And while Roger with both her bands
in his was trying to assure her of the im
possibility of such a result, the door
opened, and Mr. Samuel Windom's
amazed eyes dwelt upon the pretty pic
ture before him.
"Upon my soul, Roger, you seem to
be progressing very well; said ins un
cle. as he elevated his eve-glasse3.
"And this," said his nephew, triumph
antly leading her forward "is the only
woman you can induoe me to marry.'
And so it was time that Janet suould
offer an explanation; the result of which
was, that in another month's time there
was a magnificent wedding in the Win
dom family, and the bride, so charming
in her creamy satin and priceless pearls,
was given away by Mr. Samnel Windom.
The Dry Tortugas.
W. R. Prentice of the One Hundred
and Sixty-first New York "Volunteers,
writing to the San Francisco Bulletin,
says:
It happened to be my fortune also to
be sent to the "Dry Tortugas" Boon after
Dr. Mudd, though I had the good for
tune to be relieved from duty Bomewhat
sooner. This place is a queer one and
has seldom been described. The Dry
Tortugas (the word, I believe, means
turtles) embrace a group of several small
coral islands, or keys, lying in the gulf
of Mexico, 120 miles west from the
southern point of Florida. The largest
embraces only a few acres; they are des
titute of fresh water, and barren with the
exception of a few small mangrove and
cedar trees. They were a part of the
Florida purchase, and a fort was com
menced on Garden Key, one of the
larger, by the Spaniards. It is now a
first-class brick fort, with two tiers of
casements, and mounts more than 300
guns. During the war it was used as a
military prison, and many a poor fellow,
after a court-martial, heard the words:
"Sentenced to the Dry Tortugas for
life." These had accumulated till, in
the autumn of 1855, more than 300 men
of all nationalities and all colors wre
gathered there, and for all crimes, from
some hasty word, most likely true, said
to a subaltern officer, up t o robbery and
attempted murder.
Our guard consisted of only about 200
men, and there was plenty of work for
us to do. The records had been but im
perfectly kept, and the term of sentence
of some prisoners had long before ex
pired. These were hunted out and sent
home first. Then 100 or more of the
better men were recommended for par
don, which was freely granted by Presi
dent Johnson, for he was in a uardot ing
mood at that time. But the main interest
centered around the four conspirators,
Mudd, Arnold, Spangler and O'LouRh?
iin. They were supposed to be terrible
fellows, ready to cut our throats at any
tsme on a moment's notice. Dr. Mudd
was the central figure. He was a fair
haired man of good size and rather pre
possessing appearance. His one all
adsorbing thought was that ho was the
victim of great injustice, and whenever
he could gain a listening ear, into it he
always poured his griefs. He was de
tailed as general nurse in the hospital,
and did good service there, till iu an evil
day be attempted to escape by secreting
himself on board a steamer. Of course
he was found, sent back in disgrace, and
afterward kept in solitary confinement.
Arnold was a young man not more
than twenty four or twenty-five hand
some, highly educated and refined, and
retiring in his manners. Ho said little,
never complained, but felt his disgrace
most keenly. He was kipt as a clerk in
the Provost Marshal's office, and many a
description or muster-out roll in his
beautiful handwriting went to Washing
ton. He had the ability and ought, to
day, to be taking good care of himself
somewhere. Spangler, the stage carpen
ter of Ford's theater, was a jolly Dutch
man, and, to all appearauce, as happy
there as mortal man ever is. How well
I remember his portly form, bustling
about hi3 work, the happiest looking
man in the fort. Lastly was poor
O'Loughlin, an Irishman, I think a
shoemaker by trade. He had left a fam
ily in Washington, and oould not bear
up under his punishment. He drooped
from the day he reached the place, and
died socn after I left. I have to-day a
letter from Mudd and one from Arnold,
written after I had left the service,
asking my aid in procuring some mitiga
tion of their punishment. While I did
not pity them as I did the more than 150
soldiers sent there for the most trifling
breaches of military law, I can still see
how they were all, perhaps, more unfor
tunate than criminal.
Indian Wood-Curvinjr.
There ia no reason why tbe skill and
fancy of Indian wood -carvers should not
be known abroad by large ornaments
suitable or architectural purposes as
well as by drawing room ornaments. A
country may ba rich in wit and wealth,
and yet inherit no birthright of its own
in the great genealogy of artistic style,
and need not think it shame to go abroad
in search of adornments for its necessa
rily eclectio architecture. There is much
that the Indian craftsman can do which
cannot, to put it in homely phrase, done
any where else under heaven for lore
or money. The best that he is capable
of has scarcely by this generation
been asked for. And when hum
bly anxious to please, he has, with great
pains and Jabor, produced his copy of
European work, we turn and abuao him
for his misdirected industry. But is the
fault his? He is the least speculative of
mortals, and only makes what will sell.
He is innocent of many of the fine senti
ments attributed to him, and his whole
being is by no means centered in poetry
and metaphysics; but he has wonderful
hands, and is born heir to fine decora
tive traditions. In this matter of carven
wood-work skillful artists could find
many details which might be built into
modern domestic constructions with ad
mirable effect. An interesting experi
ment was tried recently by Mr. Lock
wood De Forest, of New York, who, dur
ing a recent protracted visit to this
country, organized a band of the wood
carvers of Ahedabad. Among the works
wrought by these may be instanced
copies of the beautiful windows in per
forated sandstone of the Bhudder, which
may be considered as types of the best
qualities of Indian design. Such demands
made by artists and those ho care for
art can be fully met, and would do more
than anything else to convince the peo
ple of the folly of neglecting their own
plastic forms. Harper's Magazine.
"No U.e
"I don't believe tnat there is any use
.in dping all these long examples in
division. I have done two or three of
them, and I know just as well as though
I had worked them all out on my slate."
"But practice makes perfect, Fred,"
was the answer of a schoolmate.
"I am as perfect aa I want to be in
long division, anyhow," the boy said in
rep'y.
When examination day came, Fred
failed in coming up to the required
standard of "passing" in all his fctudies.
He failed in long division.
"There is no use in studying every
moment of time; 1 must rest occasion
ally," he said again, later in the winter.
So he failed again, and this time it was
in all his studies. In two or three vears
Fred went away from home to learn a
trade, lor a time he did well, but one
day he said to himself:
"There is no use of my working every
moTaent. And from that time he be
gan to lose the confidence of his em
ployer. "I don't think you are the right boy
for me, or else you are not learning the
right trade," his employer said to him
one day; and so Fred was discharged.
Fred went into business for himself,
and for a while he prospered. But, as
before, he said:
"Thera is no use in my applying my
self so closely to my business," and the
result was that he failed utterly of tuc
ceeding in it.
So it was all through life; he failed in
everything he undertook, and his "no
use" reasoning ruined hira.
Don't reason in that way, boyB, for
there is use in doing everything well,
and in sticking to it. Leslie's Sunday

Eleven Lives Say. d by a Cat.
Miss Lizzie Altweis occupied the bed
room on tae second floor of an old fash
ioned gable roofed two-stcry attio and
basement house on Eldridgo street. New
York. A little Maltese cat, the property
of tbe landlord, was a constant visitor at
Miss Altweis' room, and at niijht she
would often take it in her arms when she
retired. The cat wus remarkable for two
things. First, its forepaws were adorned
with double tho number of claws usually
allotted to cats; and second, its wonder
ful intelligence was a subject of frequent
comment. Wednesday uight when Miss
Altweis retired, the cat snuggled close
up to her. About 4:30 o'clock Thursday
morning the lodger was awakened by a
pricking sensation on her cheek, and
found that the cat was clawing her.
She shook it off.when the animal jumped
to the floor and ran to the door of the
room, at which it began scratching,
mewing loudly the while. Supposing it
wantad to get out, Miss Altweis rose and
going to the door opened it. As soon as
she did so a heavy volume of thick smoke
poured into the room, almost stifling
her. The house was on fire, and in a
short time was burned to the ground.
The inmates escaped by leaping from the
windows and clambering along the eaves.
The cat's timely warning saved eleven
lives.
Senator Fair's Sew Girl.
Now that Senator Fair is a free man,
rumor has it that he will marry Miss
Annie Carpenter, who became notorious
in a divorce caseseveral years ago. W.
F. Smith, a well known oculist, became
enamored with Annie, and took her to
Arizona, where,-through the influence of
"Silver-tongued" Fitch, the uncle of
Annie, be obtained a divorce. When he
returned to San Francisco with tho girl
his wife bad tho divorce set aside, and
she was allowed $100 monthly alimony,
and ho was not permitted to marry.
Smith, however, remained Annie's friend
until she captnred the senator, and he
has made a perfect fool , of himself over
her. She is a sort of female dude, small,
aesthetic, but plump, with a doll face,
China blue eyes and crushed strawberry
hair, possessodof languishing sweetness,
but no particular accomplishments. She
has turned the heads of several men.
